In all the years that I've worked with Steve, I have never heard him say anything negative about anyone and he always had a good sense of humor, he truly was an impressive human being, I feel honored that I was able to know him.

Our condolences to David and Dayna. We had not seen Stephen in several years.
Sharon was my cousin. We go back a long ways to memories of the Patti family apartment in Queens.
They were a kind and sweet couple with good sense of humor.
May his memory be a blessing.
